Clean Bandit's Rockabye

Decent Essays
Okay, despite the fact that I kind of dislike it whenever one of my favorite songs goes 'mainstream', I do think Clean Bandit's 'Rockabye' deserves the success and fair recognition it's having now. From the first time I heard that song, I've always thought the lyrics are insanely unique from all the other pop songs you hear on the radio (and internet) and I just love how it's about single moms' struggles in parenting.

    For my endangered species project I chose the coluber constrictor foxii also know as the blue racer snake. I chose this endangered animal because there are very few of them and it is a beautiful species. One of the biggest reasons this animal is endangered is because they are a very docile snake that would rather flee then flight. There are many organizations trying to save this species and others like it. https://www.pinterest.ca/pin/556687203910425502/?lp=true…

Gwen Stefani sings about how women are stereotyped into little girls and coddled by society. The video shows the band (No Doubt) packing up their equipment and going to a gig. In the car, Gwen sings about how she knows "exactly where I stand. The world is forcing me to hold your hand" about not being allowed to live without being dependent on a man.…
